Summary
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has been the tech story of 2023—fastest platform to hit 100 million users in history and countless examples of your friends and family sending out songs about their cats as they would have written by Jimi Hendrix. Short term, chatbots have provided a nearly endless source of fun for writers and some high-profile embarrassments for news agencies and attorneys. But, can they do anything useful for manufacturers?
Can generative AI address shop-floor worker shortages, the need for more programmers, improve shift scheduling, boost productivity and aid in safety—the topics that keep plant managers up at night?
Join us October 6 at 11 a.m. (ET) for this wide-ranging discussion of developments in generative AI and what they might mean on the shop floor.
Attendees will learn:
- How the generative AI landscape is evolving
- Shop-floor applications for ChatGPT-style systems
- How to use generative AI to solve common manufacturing problems
- The ethical and legal issues surrounding the growth of the new technology
